WARMTH LIKE HOME UNAWARES

OK so I meant to talk about this before but I got like... ridiculously wrapped up in FF9...

( doctor stuff )

But YEAH, in non-terrible topics, Steam is having a Capcom sale this weekend and a lot of cool stuff is cheap and I would really love it but I have no money and it sucks. Bionic Commando and Bionic Commando ReArmed are both on sale for $2 each (or $3 combined) -- I have both on PC and XBox and highly recommend them. BioCom is a third person shooter and ReArmed is a side-scrolly platform game with a lot of shooting (think Mega Man) but the theme of both is that most of your mobility is not from running and jumping, but from swinging from things with your arm tether thing. It's REALLY fun, and there's hot characters in them.

I was thinking "Hey, I should do individual posts about each person on the chart and then the chart can link to each person's post!" but uh THERE ARE SO MANY ALREADY that seems really ridiculous LOL.

I wish Resident Evil 4 ran better on my computer... Capcom games are pretty nice in that instead of being unplayable when they are laggy, they actually just smoothly slow down the game, so you can play it's just slower. RE4 runs ALMOST full-speed, unlike Strider which is REALLY freaking slow. If I play windowed it's almost good, and it's perfectly playable and doesn't feel bad to play and like it's not so slow I feel encumbered or frustrated or something, it's just that I know it's slow and I feel like I'm 'cheating,' even though I'm terrible at these kinds of games and I mostly just want to see the hot characters and stuff, and having the game a little slowed down would probably help me enjoy it a little more because I get really frustrated with these games XD Also I have little motivation to play after killing Bitores Mendez (which I think he's like the first boss LOL) because like the main reason I even play RE4 is because of him LOLOLOL. At least in RE1 (which is on Steam! The remake! I didn't know! If anyone wants to buy it for me during the Capcom sale, feel free!! Or Dead Rising 2!! LOL) the game revolved around you rescuing either Barry or Rebecca who are both hot as hell and look great in that game so you get to see them a lot and get an ending about them. Actually thinking about it, I don't know if I ever beat the game on the remake??? I've beat the original PlaySation game with both Jill and Chris (though my friend Ricky had to help a LOT) but on GameCube I don't know if I ever even finished it once... XD It's hard!! I'm really bad at those games, plus I get scared easily and then have to turn the game off because I'm too scared to continue playing... >_>! But I'm so familiar with the setting/story of RE1 from playing it many times myself and watching Ricky play and watching speedruns and stuff that I feel like I'd be familiar/comfortable with it that I could do it now?? Maybe?? hahaha no

But yeah I kinda feel like playing a zombie game or something recently; I wish it was easier to organize a time to play L4D... I have this little foursome group that is theoretically supposed to play games together (it's me, dreamingmystic, lila_werewolf, and my brother) and like, being able to play with my brother is easy because we live together, but X and Dels have very hectic lives right now and not only are they busy but they're also having high stress levels so they don't always have the energy to play games? But we played L4D like... once lol. It was pretty fun but X had some kind of lag issues and wasn't really able to play (she was playing, but her game wasn't really synced with us, so for us in our games, she was always just wandering off somewhere in a corner running into walls and doing nothing)

But yeah and then there's me who has to prepare mental energy to do literally anything and can't just do things spontaneously, and my brother who will randomly ditch out on plans if he thinks he might get laid or get drugs or money or something, so the four of us all being available and organized at once is like... never. And we're always like 'Oh, someday when things die down' or whatever but it's like... hahaha life. But I still think there will be a day we can all play together easily, because I'm working toward getting my mental health in order, and X and Dels are always actively working on their lives and a big reason they're hectic now is because they're in that transitional period and making things better for the future. And my brother is still a little shit lmfao but he's still available often and would definitely make time for Castle Crashers at least.

It'd be cool if we had stuff we could play 2-player sessions in? I'm really not feeling an MMO right now but maybe when Stardew update comes out we can play together just 2 at a time. I like playing single-player games and can't stand playing online games with randos, but it's nice to be able to play games with people I know, because socializing even with my friends and family is already difficult, but when we can do something together that I like, then it makes it a lot easier for me?

Speaking of, my mom is going to take me to a Colts game and IDK if I said it here yet or not X_X It's like... yay football but I have to spend the day with my mom? It's usually enjoyable enough but I don't see her enough where it feels comfortable anymore and she often says things that stress me out. I used to be exactly like her though so you'd think I'd be more tolerant of it, but... anxiety is hard LOL.

OK, I've typed way too much. I need to stop.
